Well, this Tabane is even more unhinged than canon, "Everything for my dear sister" indeed. Houki can't lose Ichika until she could stood up by her own. So she made a... err, backup (she of course didn't expect Ichika to 'fail' at Gospel operation)

@ Eras
Make it so the cake is not a lie and the hero is still the hero.

Tales series have the heroes that clearly fought for idealism despite occasionally veer into hypocritical method and doing mistake here and there. They suffered a lot for doing so, but the ending is at worst bittersweet and they do accomplish their goal.

@ Demi
Precisely to avoid that.

You know how MUCH of a mess Houki is despite Ichika's wounds are non lethal.

What caused the dimensional shift is, in fact, because of the 'Oracle', basically a massive-sized, almost unrestrained I.S. core. Oracle is so powerful that when two Oracle from two universe synchronize, they create a brief wormhole.

In first case, only Ichika (Core 001, in this regard) got pulled. Later however, when forced synchronization is done (as Tabane learned the existence of mirror universe), virtually every I.S. and their pilot is pulled in.

@ Senpai - That's the problem; 8 main heroes in a group, and only 3 are outright heroic. 2 fight for simple revenge, 1 is well intentioned but goes too far at times, the other tags along simply because the well intentioned one stays, and the last one is joining only because she finds it funny to see if they succeed. Not to mention that they're at each others throats a lot of the time.

@ Senpai - Most of them do die by endgame, but that's because they die fighting than anything else. In the meantime, most of them are barely keeping themselves from shooting one another.

Speaking of which, how bad would Cecilia have gotten if she never got friends and lost that fight with Ichika? Sure the Tankbon manga shows her disapproving when she sees the stilted sexism.....but she seems to be one of the worst offenders in her first appearance?

Besides, manga shown us that not only her perception of guy changed, but ALSO her perception of female superiority. There are strong guys out there, and many of the girls are plain bitch (including her former self)

This is quite plot point in the Slider fic too, Cecilia doesn't act as haughty (as FemIchika is twice as strong), but she still saw men as inferior... until Ichika manhandled her (again)

10-20% survival rate provided there is immediate treatment and location of skewering does not cause instantaneous death. Shock caused by massive bloodloss can possibly lead to temporary loss of memory, normally short term. Long term unconfirmed.
